It looks like Bonjellanellason was finally right about something: Evening Harold DID need an arse joke.

Personally, I'm not sure arses belong in humour, it comes across as a little crass. You can't just ram these things up without creating a bit of friction, you have to ease yourself gently into anal-based satire.

I know how much bloody hard work goes into getting something like this running. Been off sick for a bit, but came back to NB last week, and it was a real treat to see this. Some cracking content. Well done you cynical bastards. Our jacked-up, divisive politicians and their bellowing toadies should be attacked from as many directions as possible. As George Osborne would say, 'Best of Briddish to you.'

Us Evening Harolders have been getting subs pm'd, Facebooked and emailled by Biscuits and we want to say thanks but we're not looking for any outside contributions. We're happy to read suggestions on how to make the place better if they are sent to this address

We're really pleased that Biscuits are liking The Evening Harold and engaging with it on Facebook and Twitter. If in the future we start looking for outside contributions then Biscuits will be first to know.

What we are saying Al is that at the moment we have 15 writers so we aren't looking for more. We are genuinely happy that people want to contribute, but as this is not a full tme job for anybody, it is impossible to take everyones ideas and fully written subs on board at the moment. We have put a lot of work into the style, concept and general workings of the site, and alot of the subs are sent in blind of that background. NB is a fantastic open forum for writing, without which we would never had started this. But at the moment it is a passion for those involved and we are, understandably, very protective of it

That may not be the answer people want, but it is how it is. We are genuine grateful for the support that people have given but we need time to settle.
